PRINCE IMRAN suffered the first injury of the Games after cutting his finger when trying to open the Queen's Baton.
The Prince, president of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), received the injury when trying to prise the lid from the baton to reveal the Queen's message.
Laughing off the accident, he showed off his bandaged finger and said he had suffered "collateral damage".
"I had a little bit of a problem last night as many of you probably noticed," he said.
"There was some collateral damage, I cut my thumb on that wonderful piece of Scottish engineering.
"It was my fault, nothing to do with the makers of the baton.
"All's well that ends well, and Her Majesty enjoyed it very much as well."
